Re: Irish Spring?

I have never thought too much about its notes but always thought that Paco Rabanne Pour Homme (the original) has an "Irish Spring" greeness to it. I suppose if someone was looking for a fragrance similar to IS then Paco Rabanne would be a good choice.

Re: Irish Spring?

ah, the memories of Irish Spring

"Like a lobster with a pearl in its claw, the beet held the jasmine firmly without crushing or obscuring it. Beet lifted jasmine, the way a bullnecked partner lifts a ballerina, and the pair came on stage on citron's fluty cue. As if jasmine were a collection of beautiful paintings, beet hung it in the galleries of the nose, insured it against fire or theft, threw a party to celebrate it. Citron mailed the invitations." Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins p. 189

Re: Irish Spring?

Good question. I recently started using the body wash and was taken back by how wonderful it smelled. I have been a fan of the bar soap in the past, but this body wash (original scent) is fantastic.

I agree about the body wash. However, I found the fragrance to be so strong and long lasting that it would interfere with my cologne at times. I've since switched to AlpineXtreme's Evergreen Forrest body wash. It's got a nice, fresh pine scent that stays close to the skin and doesn't persist too long after the shower.

Re: Irish Spring?

I do not think it has a pyramid. The version I tried was a linear fresh fragrance in the lines of Endymion, Guess Man, Nautica, Etc. But I may be wrong. I only use body washes when I am traveling or I have to take a shower outside home.

Other than portability I do not see any advantage compared to a nice, moisturizing a fragrant bar of soap (hairs from other people's private parts may be a drawback but I do not have that problem)
